py_import

This rule allows the use of Python packages as dependencies.

It imports the given `.egg` file(s), which might be checked in source files,
fetched externally as with `http_file`, or produced as outputs of other rules.

It may be used like a `py_library`, in the `deps` of other Python rules.

This is similar to [java_import](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/be/java.html#java_import).

ATTRIBUTES

Name	Description	Type	Mandatory	Default
name	A unique name for this target.	Name	required
deps	The list of other libraries to be linked in to the binary target.	List of labels	optional	[]
srcs	The list of Python package files provided to Python targets that depend on this target. Note that currently only the .egg format is accepted. For .whl files, try the whl_library rule. We accept contributions to extend py_import to handle .whl.	List of labels	optional	[]

py_runtime_pair

A toolchain rule for Python.

This wraps up to two Python runtimes, one for Python 2 and one for Python 3. The rule consuming this toolchain will choose which runtime is appropriate. Either runtime may be omitted, in which case the resulting toolchain will be unusable for building Python code using that version.

Usually the wrapped runtimes are declared using the py_runtime rule, but any rule returning a PyRuntimeInfo provider may be used.

This rule returns a platform_common.ToolchainInfo provider with the following schema:

platform_common.ToolchainInfo(
    py2_runtime = <PyRuntimeInfo or None>,
    py3_runtime = <PyRuntimeInfo or None>,
)

Example usage:

# In your BUILD file...

load("@rules_python//python:defs.bzl", "py_runtime_pair")

py_runtime(
    name = "my_py2_runtime",
    interpreter_path = "/system/python2",
    python_version = "PY2",
)

py_runtime(
    name = "my_py3_runtime",
    interpreter_path = "/system/python3",
    python_version = "PY3",
)

py_runtime_pair(
    name = "my_py_runtime_pair",
    py2_runtime = ":my_py2_runtime",
    py3_runtime = ":my_py3_runtime",
)

toolchain(
    name = "my_toolchain",
    target_compatible_with = <...>,
    toolchain = ":my_py_runtime_pair",
    toolchain_type = "@rules_python//python:toolchain_type",
)

# In your WORKSPACE...

register_toolchains("//my_pkg:my_toolchain")
